Coleman 2-Burner InstaStart PerfectFlow Propane Stove

Customer Reviews


My dad had some Coleman gear when I was a kid about 40 years ago, but I haven't gone camping in those intervening decades, so had no idea what had happened with the legendary Coleman name in all this time.
As soon as I pulled this stove out of its carefully-packed box I could see that they still were building high-quality equipment.
The stove sets up within a couple of minutes, and provides a very stable base. Stability is of paramount importance if you're going to use it in reality-based situations (instead of on the back porch) because nature is not flat nor smooth in most places.
In a disaster or other emergency things are dark, confused and in a huge mess, one of the last things you need is for some of your dwindling food supply to topple over while the stove happily starts your shelter on fire. That will not happen with this Coleman stove on the ground.
The two gas valves are large for precise flame control and have a silky feel to them. The "off" position cinches the valves down tight.
The lid and side wind shields hook together and stay that way until you want them to come apart. The chrome grill comes off easily for cleaning.
Propane for this stove is inexpensive and readily available at our local stores. You can disconnect a partially-used propane cylinder and use it again later.
I got this one to add to our emergency gear for when the next power outage hits, wish I'd done it two outages ago.

Nice and portable, and a terrific convenience for the money.
I'm really glad that I went with this $56 "next model up." It's a great stove. It's your garden variety Coleman-size model - a sauce pot or a coffee pot and a standard frying pan would fit easily at the same time. If you needed to fit two large frying pans or wanted to use a large stock pot, you would want to also get a hefty single-burner. However, cooking standard stuff for a few people, this stove is great and the price is certainly right.
One of my favorite features is the side flaps, which can be used as a windscreen when flapped up, or a utensil tray when down. It also seems more solid and sturdy than the tinny, rattling, old-fashioned Colemans I remember. It's nice and tough, and I would not hesitate to put a few decent weight pans on it.
Great stove!

Manufacturer's WarrantyLimited lifetime warranty
About ColemanThe Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

Convenient and reliable, the Coleman 2-Burner InstaStart PerfectFlow Stove is a trustworthy choice for camping, backpacking, and any time you want to cook outdoors. This stove offers 22,000 BTUs in two high-performance burners that adjust individually from simmer to full boil, for perfect outdoor cooking. Coleman's InstaStart ignition provides easy push-button lighting, so you can leave the matches at hom. The stove features a heavy-duty nickel chrome grate that's rust-resistant and easy to remove and clean. The built-in WindBlock System shields the burners for maximum heat — or fold them down to make a convenient side table. Coleman's PerfectFlow pressure-control system ensures consistent cooking performance, even in cold weather, at high altitudes, and when fuel is low. One 16.4-ounce propane cylinder (sold separately) will last up to 4.5 hours on low, and up to 1.1 hours with both burners on high. CSA certified.
